Elayne had fallen silent after she'd finished speaking and was staring at her lap, trying to forget the hurt that remembering that day had brought up...it seemed like it was yesterday that had happened and...she could still see Elly's unconscious form in her mind's eye...if they had been a little later she might not...be here. Elayne remained as she was, silent until she felt Felis sit next to her and looked up at him, her face a mask of pain until he said that she had grown up, causing a small smile to form. Elayne muttered an embarrassed 'thanks' before Felis mentioned thanking Elly and Elayne found herself tearing up again and nodding...some of the men that had come after her were planning to hold her for ransom and...if Elly hadn't been there...being forced to go back home would have been the least of her worries.
As Felis continued, Elayne found herself listening to him with a thoughtful expression on her face, wondering how he handled all the pressure but finally smiled gently at him before she was pulled into a hug. Surprised at first at being pulled into the hug, Elayne relaxed and leaned against Felis,"You're a good duke Felis...I've seen it...you care about the people in the cities and villages,she said in a quiet, gentle voice,"Some things just take time...a tree doesn't grow from an acorn in a day after all. Maybe...you could come with me sometime...to the beach or just camp out and have fun."
After a moment of silence, during which Elayne was thinking about how best to continue her story, she sighed,"Yes, there's more...a little while after that I had chanced a trip into town to get more supplies and met a girl with the same sparrow birthmark on her shoulder that looked identical to mine. She had injured her Pokemon during a battle and was using some of the shops herbs to help them which happened to be exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't familiar with the plants in the area so I stopped in to get some oran berry powder and other supplies and asked for advice. Ever since the decline, it hasn't been very easy to find an open Pokemon center, unless you go in the major cities which hasn't really been an option for me. Turns out that girl...there was a reason she had that sparrow mark...I found out that my parents had been lying to me for years. You know those rumors about my alleged twin sister...well, they're true...I found her, and her name is Cora....Cora Bennett apparently. She had a talking Charizard that frightened me at first but Elly seemed rather relaxed around her which was odd...but when your Espeon says that a girl you've never met before smells like you...well...that changes a lot of things. We ended up talking a bit and parted ways, I haven't really seen her since then but I know with her Charizard she'll be just fine."Elayne said in a calm voice, smiling rather sleepily at the memory of how funny Elly had been that day, her eyes were beginning to feel like lead and...Felis was warm and well...it had been a while since she'd really slept...how long had it been...one...two days...,"I have more stories but...can those wait until later? I can hardly keep my eyes open and...you'rereallycomfortable."
